Les halogénures d'hydrogène sont des composés des halogènes avec l'hydrogène. Leurs solutions aqueuses sont acides et portent alors, et alors seulement, le nom d'hydracide (acide fluorhydrique, acide chlorhydrique, acide bromhydrique, acide iodhydrique). Les sels sont les halogénures métalliques [...]
